Convert OrderedDict to normal dict

Question

I have a list of OrderedDicts like this:

input = [OrderedDict([('id', 'mp-1'), ('name', 'John')]), OrderedDict([('id', 'mp-2'), ('name', 'Peter')])]

How can I convert it to a list of normal dicts like this

output = [{'id': 'mp-1', 'name': 'John'}, {'id': 'mp-2', 'name': 'Peter'}]

The `dict` constructor can take a list of pairs as input so you can pass the `OrderedDict` to the `dict` constructor — rdas, May 08 '20 at 15:27

You can use dict constructor:

>>> output = [dict(i) for i in input]
>>> output
[{'id': 'mp-1', 'name': 'John'}, {'id': 'mp-2', 'name': 'Peter'}]

Use this:

output = []
for odict in input:
    output.append(dict(odict))

Its not crazy fast, but its readable and good enough.
